Piracy site fined for $ 4.8M again, by the court

$15 million fine was imposed by the New York federal judge on Sci-Hub, a scientific research piracy site, due to the passing of tens of thousands of research papers from behind the paywalls, happened in June.

Initially, $15 million fine was imposed by the New York federal judge on Sci-Hub, a scientific research piracy site, due to the passing of tens of thousands of research papers from behind the paywalls, happened in June. In spite of it, site’s overseas operator, Alexandra Elbakyan, said she’d never pay offended party Elsevier or stop the encroaching conduct.

By and by on Friday, this site has been fined for another $4.8 million by a Virginia government judge for the same encroaching conduct, imposed by the American Chemical Society.

Like the previous order, the latest Friday order, it is demanded that domain provides should stop the servicing Sci-Hub. The site has been playing a session of area Whac-a-Mole for quite a long time in an offer to skirt US legal requests. Elbakyan, of Russia, did not take an interest in the lawful procedures.

In the latest orders, unlike the first one, provides the American Chemical Society some serious legal armor such as provides right to ask search engines like Google to stop to show the Sci-Hub in search results.
